Changes and a Circus Party

Happy Tuesday! I finally had a chance to update my blog.The last few weeks have been a bit crazy around here. Emilia finished 8th grade last Friday. It was very exciting but at the same time kind of sad since it is our last year with Calvert. I started homeschooling her using their homeschool program when she was in pre-k. Unfortunately they don't have a high school program so we will have to find something else to use with her for high school. I am leaning towards Keystone right now but still have more research to do. If anyone has any recommendations for homeschool highschool programs let me know. We are looking forward to enjoying a long summer break now.
Another thing that has happened since I last wrote is Rich quit his job and has decided to work for himself. It was a risky decision but I think it was the right one. Unfortunately the company he was at for over 13 years was not treating him well which was making him very unhappy. I am really hoping that working for himself will work out and make him happier in the long run. Here is the link to his website if anyone is looking for an architect. 
Now that I have some time off from homeschooling Emilia I an going to be concentrating on making party themed items to sell in my Etsy shop. Below is the first one which is a Circus theme. I have been working on it for a couple of weeks and finally got it done. Since there are so many pieces I made a collage in Pickmonkey showcases them all. I don't want to bore you with all the details that went in to making these things because it was a lot of work. If you have any questions about how I made them or the supplies used let me know.  You can see individual photos and pictures of the inside of the invitations and thank you notes in my Etsy Shop. That's all for now. I hope you have a great week and stay cool if it is as hot where you are as it is here.
